thanks, james. brings back memories. I was fortunate enough to have seen the first incarnation of ringo and his ASB. seventh row...center. saw several others as well. but the first was by far the best. and he was funny...

I want to tell her that I love her a lot, but I got to get a belly full of wine.

Just had a dream Ringo was playing the first track from bis new record on Jimmy Fallon. The album. Was called "Batman" and the track played called "whoosh". I think the band was called The Crudys. It sucked. But I still had a smile a new Ringo record was out. I found humor in the title trying to mooch off Batman's popularity and the dual meaning of the title of the track (as expected be is singing about his beatle days/youth) as in "whoosh, and it was gone" and the whoosh of batmans cape.

Can't recall any lyrics from it. At the time I seen it on a tv playing in another room I was doing study on wildlife of the world just after being sucked out a hole on the battlestar galactica landing on a small planetoid inhabited by tiny sentient mushrooms. I explained to them the prejudice against them on earth, being called a fungus, but didnt mention them being eaten etc. Did mention that they weren't sentient on my planet.

Well jel, as the kids in the UK say these days

May sweet memories of friends from the pastAlways comes to you, when you look for them

Ringo has had some fairly decent moments in his solo career. Starting with RINGO in 1973 (probably his high water mark), but also including TIME TAKES TIME, and VERTICAL MAN. A few songs here and there since, as well. And, in between RINGO and TTT there were certainly songs on albums that weren't bad (including many from GOODNIGHT VIENNA).

And his Christmas album is fantastic! Of all the Beatles, only Ringo could get away with that, and he does...brilliantly! Yes, Paul has had "Wonderful Xmastime," and I really like his "The Christmas Song" done during the sessions with Diana Krall for KOTB, but I would cringe if he put out a similar-type album. But, that's just me.
